RE: Intro To DTube for Steemit - Terry Brock, your host
Yes, there has to be an alternative to YouTube. I don't need a mummy or a daddy deciding, what I'm allowed to watch. I'm against censorship as far as possible.
I agree to your suggestions, Terry. Adding a few more.
Give users the ability to filter content themselves for their personal use, f.e. I'm not interested in sports. I would like to be able to hide such videos on the main page.
Search filters like YouTube
Categories would be nice too, like History, Documentation, News, Nature, Music and so on.
Playlists
Better buffering ... I don't have the strongest computer, but I'm able to watch HD videos on YouTube without lagging.
Accessibility. For viewers it is too difficult to log into DTube: first create a Steemit account, find your private key, then log into DTube. There always will be more viewers than content providers, so make it easy for them to subscribe, follow or comment.
Anyhow, the concept of DTube is promising.
Thank you for making those points, andreab. I have to agree with you on all the points you made.
Having a filter would be great. Right now they have very few videos so it is not a big deal. However, as the platform grows in popularity and use it will quickly become overloaded. Filters would be great.
BTW, I like all of those categories you listed. I don't follow sports myself. Glad that those who like it can. Filters would make a lot of sense. It would be particularly good to have subdivisions for various languages and countries.
And yes, it is rather complicated to initially get up and running. This is true with cryptocurrencies in many areas. That creates wonderful opportunities for those who will provide solutions to make on-boarding much easier.
Thank you for your comments and very insightful thoughts. Please come back and visit again. Hope you have a great day.
Thank you, Terry ... I'm more a reader, viewer and commentator than creator, so I didn't use Steemit much myself, but I like the concept. Creation of good content should be rewarded and not become a rip off for corporations. Sick and tired of this greed everywhere, not to mention censorship.
Have a great day too, cu around
